Isengard Class Changes: Captain, Second Iteration
If you are familiar with the proposed Captain changes released a few weeks ago, then here are updates that hit the forums on Friday. If you are not familiar with them, then click here for the entire list including Friday’s updates.
First, Raskolnikov answered some questions:
- Only one Brother Toggle can be active at a time.
- Improved Kick was moved from the 3-set bonus to the 2-set bonus in Leader of Men
- -10s Mark Skills Cooldown still exists as part of the 2-set bonus in Leader of Men.
Then he proceeded to BLOW OUR MINDS! I am so excited for these changes, its making me question whether to run my Hunter MAIN through Isengard first or my Captain. Read more…
Isengard Class Changes: Lore-masters
If you have been following the posts made by developers on the forums and in their my.LOTRO blogs, then you know that class changes are going to rock in Isengard. I thought I would put up a series of posts on each of the classes and keep them updated as new information comes in. Also, if I have an opinion, I will post that as well.
This overview will cover Lore-masters. The resident developer in charge of Lore-masters is Raskolnikov. I will try to both write what has changed and what it is currently, in case you are wanting to roll a Lore-master alt in the near future and want to know what will happen in Isengard.
NOTE: These are only proposed! Things may change in Beta testing. Read more…

Stat Changes: Better or Worse?

The Devs dropped a huge bomb on us today with a Developer Diary by Graalx2 about stat updates coming in Rise of Isengard.
My gut reaction was “NOOOOOOOO!!!!! Not my build!!!!!”
My second thought was “hmm….could be a good thing.”
Here is a run-down of all of the changes, with my comments: Read more…
My New Checklist: Syp at Massively Gets the Scoop
Sypster over at Massively posted a preview of Rise of Isengard expansion, and here are some of the things he had to say.
The expansion is filled with dozens of small improvements as well. Classes will not only be expanded as players level to 75 but receive skill and trait overhauls as Turbine strives to give players “more meaningful choices” in how they build and play their roles. Scaling instances will have their caps raised to 75 and will stock their coffers with better and more shiny loot. Crafting will head into Tier 7 with plenty of new recipes to boot.
We also learned that the virtue cap will be raised from 10 to 12, giving players more ways to increase their character’s stats.
Wow, do I have a lot to do! I have to get all five of my 65s ready for this expansion! Here is my checklist of what I need to do: Read more…
